McLaren Northern Michigan, part of McLaren Health Care, has announced the opening of an urgent care facility, marking a significant development in healthcare accessibility for the Petoskey community in Michigan, US.
The new McLaren Northern Michigan Urgent Care facility is an extension of the existing McLaren Northern Michigan Primary Care clinic, which continues to serve patients.

McLaren Northern Michigan president and CEO Gar Atchison said: “All of us in our organisation are excited to be able to expand our services and thrilled for the convenience it will provide our patients and their ability to access care timely and efficiently.
“As with any of our growth projects, we are confident that this latest expansion will bolster the care we offer within Petoskey, enhance our patients’ overall experience, and provide our community with the reassurance that high-quality care is always within reach.”
The urgent care clinic is equipped with seven treatment rooms and a procedure room, staffed by a team of providers adept at addressing various non-life-threatening conditions.
These include viral illnesses, minor cuts needing stitches, and simple bone fractures that do not necessitate surgical intervention.
